Design for the future.

Hi, I’m Felix. A Berlin-born designer on a mission to make complex things simple (or at least less confusing). I work at the intersection of AI, finance, and design, turning intricate systems into seamless, human experiences. 

I’m currently Head of Design at Getsafe, where I lead and scale product design across the company, shaping how people interact with digital insurance, from strategy and systems to craft and execution. 

Previously, I designed fintech products at Revolut, where I helped build the first commercial version of their HR SaaS product, and contributed to shaping Forget Finance. I also worked on the Commerzbank Banking App at Neugelb Studios.

Beyond fintech and insurtech, I co-founded Arise, sold my first startup, and taught Innovation by Design at Macromedia University. Lately, my focus has shifted deeper into AI and creativity, exploring how emerging technologies change the way we design, build, and experience digital products. 

Always up for a chat about design, AI, or why simplicity is so damn hard. Let’s connect.

What I do

I design and build high-end digital products — combining taste, technology, AI, and strategy to turn complexity into clear, impactful experiences.

Product vision & direction

Turning ambiguity into clear, bold direction.
I work at the highest level of abstraction first — shaping product vision, defining what matters, and aligning teams around outcomes. From strategy to execution, I orchestrate people, data, and technology to move products forward with clarity and intent.

Problem framing
Outcome definition
Stakeholder alignment
Decision-making under uncertainty

High-class digital experiences

Taste-led design, built to last.
I design and build digital products with a strong sense of taste, restraint, and visual clarity. Calm, confident interfaces that feel premium, intentional, and effortless — where every detail earns its place.

End-to-end product building

From idea to shipped product — without handovers.
I bridge design, development, and product management. I design, prototype, and build products myself — shipping real software, not just concepts. This allows for faster iteration, fewer compromises, and better outcomes.

AI- & data-native workflows

Designing with the future, not around it.
I use AI and data as first-class tools — to explore faster, validate decisions, and build smarter products. Not as gimmicks, but as leverage to create better experiences and systems.

AI-assisted product building
Automation & tooling
Data-informed decisions
Human–AI interaction
Scalable workflows

Leadership & orchestration

Making teams and products work better together.
I lead, guide, and unblock teams — aligning stakeholders, setting standards, and raising the bar for how products are built. Calm leadership, strong opinions, and high expectations.

My process is collaborative and iterative, 
with the user at the center of all design decisions.
